I've seen other people say that when they have issues with swype, just switch input (long press on a text field and change input to keyboard), then switch back and it should be OK

I stopped using it for this reason. Having to switch text input was irritating me. I just use the stock keyboard, works fine.

I stopped using it because of this issue until I flashed CM7. Figured i would give it another try. It has not stopped working in the 3 days that I have been using CM7, so maybe it had something to do with AR?

Does it come on all the roms? Can't find swype on mine.

I have the same issues with Swype on AR 3, and now RCMix HD 4.1... But since there's an easy workaround, I'll keep using it as I like Swyping so much.

It works fine on my stock, un-rooted Inspire. I just simply downloaded the latest Swype apk file, and side loaded it through SWM. Simple, clean and easy. It works flawlessly, and has been for weeks now.

I just started having this problem today actually. I have been using it for a week and a half now. Don't know why it just happened today. I had to reset it twice earlier but fine now.

you have to sign up for the beta here where they send you a download link. At which point in your browser it may tell you that you are not using an android device. If you encounter this change your settings to show as a mobile and then you should be able to download and load it the way they show there
link as follows
http://beta.swype.com/
happy hunting

After reading the terms of service on XDA regarding swype, I removed this post. The post linked to another member who linked the apk file. In the future, anyone considering posting a swype apk file should read this...

Thanks to member phil.W for the heads up!

Screw the beta version. Use the verified Swype. Maybe since it's a beta, that is why folks here are having problems. Just download the apk (non-beta version) and simply sideload the file with 'Sideload Wonder Machine'. Quick and easy.
You can get the real Swype version here in XDA. You could have done the search, or I'll just post the link here because I'm nice!

There, on the last page, member cmeyer3 gives the download link.

How do you know this is the "Real" version and not just the apk someone got from the beta? Cause this (http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-inspire-4g/60295-guide-installing-swype-beta-htc-inspire-4g.html - which is referenced in that thread) shows you how to pull the .apk out of the beta, which is what I believe is being shared

not to mention of course that SWYPE does not want its apk being shared as such, and wants all copies to be properly licensed which even XDA is observing and removing links to the downloads when they see them to observe swypes request that they have proper copies and/or have permission to install it in their roms or on their own devices.

Thanks phil.W for the the heads up. I removed my post on that matter upon reading those terms of service from the link you provided. And yes, someone should let the other member, who is linking to the apk file, know about that as well. No reason to step on anyone's foot over at Swype and cause any problems for developers here on XDA.
Thanks again.

Android market v3.0.2.7

Here's the new Android Market. And its the one I'm currently using and it has a few updates. Hope you all enjoy. You may need to uninstall the old market updates in order for this to install.
Go to settings/applications/manage applications. Then tap on "all" scroll down to "Market". Tap on the app and select uninstall updates. The install the apk you dl.
http://db.tt/xwRztJu
Also here's the new market in black. Its just the apk so to install it. You must have root. Then use root explorer or a file manger that has root access. Then copy and paste it to system/apps. Then change permissions. To do this using root explorer simply just long press on any app that's in the system folder and select permissions. Then look how the permissions are selected for that apk. Then long press on the new black market apk you just pasted in the folder and select permissions. Then check the boxes as you just seen on the apk that you first long pressed on to check permissions. Then make sure the folder is mounted as r/o which is "read only". You can do this by looking at the top right hand corner of root explorer and it will be a tab that says r/w. Just tap that tab and it will change to r/o. Then hit menu then select exit. Then reboot.
You should see it in your app drawer as "" Black Market""
This is the latest version 3.0.27
Link on last page of thread. If any of you would like a flashable zip let me know.
but it will only be for Ra.1.6,1.7 or Cwm2.5.
Hope you guys can use it.

I believe the reason your Evo3D has the movies section and our heros don't is because our heros are rooted.

i couldn't get your file to download - not sure if it's a problem with the file itself, or just IE9. i did find a copy elsewhere tho.
anyway, does anyone know if you can disable update notifications like in the old market (i would go to my apps and settings and disable notifications). i don't see the option here anymore, but didn't know if there was a walkaround to do it anyway?
not that i'm complaining, but i don't like how the reviews aren't in date order anymore - makes it hard to tell if ppl are having problems with the newest app update...hopefully they'll change that in the future.

Is it just me or is anyone else unable to leave reviews/stars on apps? I keep ketting a message saying something like unable to leave feedback at this time or something. I have been having so many issues with this phone in last few weeks I am about to blow it up! lol

Probally ie9. Try a different browser or threw your phone. I just hit the link from my phone and it downloads.

Huh. I will have to try again. I wanted to leave a review on an app but wouldnt let me. Kept saying there was some kind of error.

Might be on Google's end. Try clearing data and trying again. Or try uninstalling the updates and reinstalling and see if that works.

What in the name of Zod is LocalTryTry?

This has just been sitting in the my apps section of marketplace since I ran market doctor in Titanium Backup. I have absolutely no idea what this app does, (if anything) both the description and Whats New text simply says LocalTryTry followed by two screen shots of a three paned interface that is completely blank. Attempting to update the app fails and I can find no actual trace of it's existence on my transformer anywhere.
So I ask, what is this thing had how do I get rid of it? Frankly Its freaking me out a bit.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asus.weatherwondered the samething. just looked on the market page. It says in the url com.asus.weather. thanks for making me look.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asus.weather

Well that seems to be that mystery solved

I have exactly the same problem.
It came about exacly the same way i have tried using two different roms with the same result.
Have you got rid of it and how you did it.
Thanks

Using Titanium Backup just unlink LocalTryTRy (Asus weather) from the market and it stops nagging you about updates that always fail.

Well first post gets an answer pretty quick.
Pretty easy when you know how
Thanks for you help.

So instead of breaking the market link is there a way to port the update again? If I knew how I would since that seems like a better option.

G2X with Ultimate 1.0 Google Search "Wrong Package File" Error

Hi and to whom it may concern.
I have a 7 month old G2X which I finally rooted it and intalled the Ultimate 1.0 rom on it by Webstar 1. It runs really well. Just a few questions if someone may know. I updated all the apps from the market, all but 2 of the updated fine.
Google Search says "it's the wrong package file" and gives a box saying "to uninstall it first and then try and download" the update again. The other app giving me a problem is the Adfree app. It gives an Error box saying "my item is processing and my order will be available in a few minutes" but nothing ever updates and you end up repeating it all over again.
Any procedures I can do to remove the Google Search App and install the new one as well as getting the updated version of Adfree.
Any assistance would be greatly helpful.
Sincerely Peekaypee in San Diego

I had this issue with Apex Launcher when I installed it to the system and then updated the ROM. Try moving the apps from /system/app to /data/app...that will most likely fix your problem.

It was one of the original ROMs we had for the G2x, it was based off of stock 2.2.2. I used it for about a week and I loved it. It was very fast, stable, and looked really nice.

My thoughts exactly it could use some more work but for the initial release that thing was a beast! If someone picked that rom up to make an awesome 2.2.2 rom I'd rich that thing for stability any day!! It is just so plain even for me, and I'm a very plain kinda guy!

That rom was ridiculous back in the day. Haha. That was my daily driver for what seems like ever. Then I made the leap of faith to hells rom and never went back.

Hey all who responded. Thanks!
Love the comments.
Hey Fatality.. Just a question about moving the googlequicksearchbox apk.
With this stock rom, I have an app which was put on by the developer called File Manager. In it I can go to the folder that has system/app and then open it and it has all of the apk's which I think were installed by Webstar1.
When I scroll down to the googlequicksearchbox.apk , I have two things that can happen when I quick press it or long press it. Quick press it opens up a dialogue box that says "Replace Application this is a system application. Do you still want to replace it. All previous user date will be saved". When I long press it, it opens in a subdirectory box with choices to select "Send, Move, Copy, Rename, Delete, Package installer, Messaging, Email, Google Mail"
What exactly should I do?
I know you had mentioned to move it to the Data/File folder which I tried but it would not move.
Remember when I try and update it from the Market Google Search says "it's the wrong package file" and gives a box saying "to uninstall it first and then try and download" the update again.
Thanks again for all you offer and I look forward to your responses.

[MOD] Google Now in Sense ROMs

Hey everyone.
First, I can't take credit for any of this. User mcmb03 is the one who found the thread and asked about it in the Q&A section. I went ahead and tested it out, and was able to get Google Now working on CleanROM 4.0SE, albeit not without its problems. (These problems are affecting all users, not just Sense users.)
Known issues
-Voice Search is broken
-"Show more cards" may cause a Force Close if there are no other cards to load. If you've done some searching, and Google Now has learned, for example, your favourite sports teams and there are actually more cards to load than what are on the initial page, it WILL load more cards.
- and possibly some other things we haven't noticed yet
To get it working, go here and follow the instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28226043&postcount=1
Then, in the same thread, jump to page 15 and follow the instructions in the second post down, #142 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28234189&postcount=142)
Happy Nowing!
EDIT: After testing for an hour or so, it seems like absolutely everything is working now except for Voice Search. Of course, there could be other problems we just haven't discovered yet.

so... most of it is broken? QUICK LETS ADD THIS TO EVERY ROM NOW!!!

Then complain about the broken stuff to the dev!

Still better then stock.
Thank you

Turns out I was wrong about the automatic card displays. I was under the assumption that a traffic notification would pop up without any user interaction, but you've actually gotta pull up Google Now, and when you've got an upcoming meeting, the top card will show you your meeting info and a traffic report.

lol Red5, of all the mods of all the xda forums I've partaken in, you're by far the spunkiest.
And I wouldn't say most of it's broken. The Voice Search, which is obviously a huge part of it, is the most broken part. It doesn't work at all. The "Show More Cards" link at the bottom causes a crash. Maybe this is because I have no more cards waiting to be viewed, I'm not sure.
I do get automatic cards showing up with a traffic report when I've got an upcoming meeting. I also did a search for "Toronto Blue Jays," and above the web results, I got a Google Now card recapping the most recent game (the Royals kicked our a$$!) And now that I've searched for the Blue Jays a couple times, it'll be interesting to see if Now is really learning my preferred sports teams, and the cards automatically show up when there's a new ballgame.

Nope, that's different. That's the "more" tab for search results. I mean when you open Google Now (from the app drawer, not from the widget), scroll to the bottom of your cards, and click "Show More Cards."
And actually... now that I've been using Now for an hour or so, I clicked the "Show More Cards" and it works now! It shows additional cards that may be useful to me, such as transit routes, the upcoming Jays game (so it did learn one of my "favourite" sports teams.)
So, as far as I can tell, absolutely everything is working except Voice Search. It really is getting more awesome to use as it learns things about me.

I hate to ask this because i'm sure your playing around with it at the moment. But any chance you could upload the Velvet.apk from the original post? (or will the second one work, it wont let me install). I'm trying to download it and wont get past 3.0

Yep, that should be all there is to it. Do you have "Unknown Sources" allowed in your Development Settings? Cuz you might need that enabled.

push to /system/app/ and set permissions to rw-r-r

So just to make sure, I don't actually have to install the app? Just download, rename it to "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk" (rename/delete old one as well), copy it to /system/app/ set permissions, then reboot?

Installed through instructions in second link from op, but get a fc when I open the app, also YouTube fcs for some reason
